Miami Beach Beach Huts.
I walk by this beach huts every day, they come in all shapes and sizes and they are all super cool. This particular day the clouds were just right, it was over cast and the lighting was perfect. I shot a lot of them but this three are my favorites.
Anything beach related I just love, maybe its just the mood the beach puts me in. It truly makes me happy, something about the water, warm weather and just being outside…
I like them both B&W and in color not sure what I like best so I just thought I would post both side by side, I suppose depends what kind of mood I’m in B&W or color. What do you like better?
Settings: ISO 100 F16 74 seconds with a 10 stop filter. Shot in mid day edited in Lightroom.

Must see places in Miami Beach.
Here is a list I have put together the most photogenic places in Miami Beach. This are the must see places when visiting. This are my personal favorite and when I am home, you can often find me at this spots catching a nice sunset or snapping some pics. This list is for photographers and tourists alike.
Number one. This is probably the most popular, The Colony Hotel on Ocean Dr. between 7th and 8th Street. This place is always packed and you can find photographers and tourists lined up to get a shot of the Colony Hotel. Lots of movies have been filmed here and continue to be filmed here. Large crowds of people gather around this place like a pile of ants do when they find a little snack.
Number 2. The beach. I know I know its obvious right? Well not for a lot of people, if your here you have to go to the beach and catch a sunrise, they come in all shapes colors and sizes, sure to please the soul.
Number 3. Española Way, this is street you would find in Europe, though is a short walk you are sure to enjoy it this is best experienced at night.
Number 4. South Pointe Park. This is my favorite spot in all of Miami Beach. What is cool about this park is that it wraps around the most Southern tip of the Island, from the beach (starting at the Jetty lifeguard tower) to the West, where you can catch a sunset you only see in magazines over the Miami Skyline. This is best experienced on a bicycle, walking or with a loved one. (see next photo below of an aerial view)
Here is an aerial view of South Pointe Park. This is great any time of the day or night.
Number 5. Maurice Gibb Memorial Park, here you can catch a sunset, go paddle boarding, have a picnic or simply relax. Lots of people come here to do Yoga during the sunset. I often come to watch the sunset with my doggies.
Number 6. Watson Island Park, this place is located behind the Children’s Museum. Very easy to find. Here you can see an incredible view of the Miami Skyline, great for a sunset shoot or a really cool night shot. Lots of people come here to fish and hang out. You are guaranteed to run into a photographer (or many) here any day or night of the week. Lots of cloud formations often changing, you are always guaranteed an insane shot and a feel good kind of evening.
There you have it guys, my top spots to visit and photograph while you are visiting Miami Beach. There is a couple more but this are the ones you shouldn’t miss. If you have one to add to the list, please drop me a line below.

Ocean Dr. Dressed in Black.
Good afternoon people. Las night was windy and a bit cool, (for Miami Beach) but I managed to get on my bicycle and head to Ocean Dr. The clouds were just amazing. I could’t look at them thought my window without going out there and taking some pix. I posted this on Facebook earlier but the resolution was bad, so here it is. Ocean Dr. dressed in Black.

Miami Beach from the air
Here is one from Miami Beach. I shot this from a helicopter, you can see the action on the video below. What you see here is called South Pointe Park, its the very most southern tip of Miami Beach. This is also where all the cargo ships and cruise ships come into port. This place is gorgeous, its a beautiful park to hang out and watch the sun set behind the Miami Skyline.

The Colony Hotel Miami Beach.
This place is located on Ocean Dr. It is one of the most photographed places here in Miami Beach, no matter what time you go by, there is people from professional photographers to families taking a photo of this place. I pass this place just about every night on my nightly bicycle rides. It never gets old looking at it. There has been many films and tv shows filmed here and from time to time you can catch a film crew working on something new.
Thank you again for dropping by. (click on it to enlarge)
